About

A regime-driven rotation strategy that uses leverage-heavy tech bets and volatility/defensive assets to try to ride up markets and protect in down markets. Signals rely on price momentum and RSI, with daily rebalancing to pick and weight a small group of ETFs.
NutHow it works
What you need to know in simple terms: - Tickers are symbols for funds (ETFs) that track different baskets of stocks or strategies. Examples used here include QQQ (tech-heavy Nasdaq), SPY (S&P 500), TQQQ (3x Nasdaq leverage), UPRO (3x S&P leverage), TECL (3x tech), SOXL (semiconductors), QQQ, SQQQ (inverse Nasdaq), UVXY and VIXY (volatility-related funds), BIL/SHV (short-term Treasuries/defensive bonds), TMF (long-duration Treasuries), SVXY (short VIX exposure), etc. - The system first judges the market regime (is the market in a favorable, rising phase or a weak, falling/uncertain phase?). It does this by comparing current prices to moving averages (short to medium term) and by looking at momentum signals. - Depending on regime, it rotates into a small set of assets. In a bull market, it tends to favor leveraged tech bets (like TQQQ, SOXL, TECL, UPRO) and may use UVXY/VIXY as hedges if volatility signals are strong. In a bear or choppy market, it shifts toward hedges or more defensive exposure (inverse or volatility-proxy assets, or bond-like funds). - Signals come from RSI (overbought/oversold indicators) and whether an asset’s price is above its moving average. The strategy also ranks assets by recent performance (moving-average-based returns, cumulative returns) to pick top candidates and assign weights (sometimes heavily to a few top picks and smaller allocations to others). - Everything is rebalanced daily, so positions can change day to day as conditions shift. - In plain terms: it’s a complex, rules-based system that tries to ride tech momentum with multipliers when things look good, while pivoting to hedges and safer bets when momentum fades, using a structured set of indicators to guide decisions.

FAQ

A Composer symphony is an automated trading strategy that executes trades based on parameters of your choice. Some symphonies are similar to holding one ETF in normal conditions and rotating to a different ETF when market conditions shift, for example a 5% drop in the S&P 500, while others use complex rules with dozens of triggers. However, complex doesn’t always mean better. A simple, well-structured symphony can be just as effective as an intricate one. Learn more about how symphonies work here.
